UST Vs UNIPORT: The Earlier You Stop the Fight the Better for You

I know you will say it is just for the fun of it but please spare me that bullshit. Some jokes are really expensive you know. To call a spade a spade, it is awkward, laughable,
appalling and pitiable that students of prestigious universities will engage
themselves in such a demeaning battle, charcterized by futility. Well, these
are candid thoughts of concerned citizens on the ongoing feud among students of
the Rivers State University of Science Technology (RSUST) and students of
the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT). A word they say is enough for
the wise.

Monday morning thought

My attention has being
drawn to the vague, unreasonable, rivalry between two prestigious universities
of my beloved Rivers state,Yes! I call Rivers state my beloved because while I
don't claim to be a native, I pride in it knowing it as my place of abode for
more than two decades..

back to the issue on
ground...first, I want to know why
the competition?second, what do we hope
to achieve?third, what should be our
yardstick for comparison?

Inasmuch as we all want
to showcase our alma mata as bin better than others, it should be in a more
logical, constructive and healthy manner, not in the meme, despicable
caricature I see.. to the extent that our academics are included in the useless
fight.

Great Nigerian Students,
it is high time we stopped this fight before it turns out to a bloody clash,
soon some gullible, unscrupulous element will hijack this rivalry and turn it
into some tin we never bargained for..such a thing is infectious and can even
spread to other states like a wild fire....

Rather than continue in
this arrogance, lets have a more organised ,intellectual fight, debate, that
will push us to stretch ourselves and be better for our society and Nigeria at
large.

#FOR THE PEACE OF RIVERS
STATE##JUST BECAUSE I DONT WANT
ANOTHER CLASH##NIGERIAN STUDENTS#

It beats my imagination
to even think that graduates or students of prestigious higher institutions of
learning; citadels that have produced diverse caliber of highly influential
ladies and gentlemen will engage in a greatly demeaning cyber battle. A battle
which its beginning cannot actually be traced or its essence figured out. I
must say, in all honesty, this battle, that is bereft of any academic
significance or economic relevance is a pointer to the narrow mindedness of
some youth. It speaks of the fallen standards of morality in our universities.
Students now make a maddening mockery of established, hallowed institutions;
institutions that came into existence by acts of law? Need I say more? UNIPORT
and RSUST are both degree awarding institutions and as such have and will
continue to turn out seasoned young minds so pls my dear friends pick some
other topic for your "child's play".It is indeed a shame and
should be discouraged in its entirety.
